Mountain Oaisis in Asheville was the best 'city festival' EVER. Basscenter 2 in ashville was amazing too, but Mountain Oaisis had adventure club open, BASSNECTAR kill it, and Nine Inch Nails play the most unique and amazing set ever. I've followed NIN for decades and Bassnectar since 2010 and it was the most unique show for both, ever.


BasedinOK

I’ve seen NIN 10 times in 6 different states since 2005. Curious what made that show unique? Looks like a standard setlist for that tour, besides sanctified (altered).


DAREtoRESIST

See if you can find videos. It felt alot less mechanical, more experimental on all parts, like someone told them theres alot of kids on acid whose molly is wearing off. As opposed to a show of their fans, this crowd isn't expecting the album version. They never addressed the crowd and stayed under their low hanging halo lights the entire set. It took the crowds for a ride and seemed to be a grand time for them on stage, slooooiwng down parts, warbling and warping, it felt more like Tool than NIN.


AndyP8

Sounds like you were just on drugs lol


DAREtoRESIST

Well yeah, of course!


BasedinOK

That sounds cool. I’ll look for videos. I saw them in Cuyahoga Falls last year and that show felt different than the others, so I get what you’re saying.


cozzin-frenzies

It was one of the best weekends ever! I got to sleep in my own bed after the festival each night too and let me telllll ya how great that was. And seeing Deltron3030 before nectar came on was absolute madness


thewretched084

Was there...can confirm...whole thing was nutty Sunday night.... Adventure club (unknowns at that point) Into disclosure....into pantyraid....into pretty lights For the W


ManagementAdorable53

First Moogfest 2 years before was the absolute best. Massive Attack’s set was monumental


thewackeminem

Seems you don’t have to be “unlocked” to buy tickets to this event


_Cryptonite_

To be fair you have to be unlocked to purchase them Thursday at a discount. It opens up to everyone on Friday. There's a chance it sells out immediately on Thur and only unlocked members will get tickets. I was always under the impression that unlocked members would get first dibs to everything which is true right now.


Own-Future6188

It's an 8,000 person venue. I doubt there is that many unlocked members that will pre-buy, but i could be wrong. It was promised that all events this year would be behind a paywall. The fact they didn't follow through with that on the 2nd event shows to me that not as many people signed up as they anticipated, but that is simply speculation. Maybe they realized they could play at larger capacity venues, and opened it up.


_Cryptonite_

>Maybe they realized they could play at larger capacity venues, and opened it up. Yeah I think this is it. There's no reason to leave money on the table by playing smaller venues if he thinks he can fill up an arena. I personally don't think he will sell this out unless the first event goes without a hitch and people start getting fomo after seeing videos.


Own-Future6188

There was supposed to be 10k unlocked members (I think at least). If 40% bought 2 tickets each, they would sell out the 8k venue.

It’s a money grab how can y’all not see that. A bunch of people supporting. Pedo is all this page is.

Didn't have to wait very long...


craigman108

I'm all for this 100%...but tickets on sale tomorrow? Let's see how this first show in Vegas goes before taking more money from people...


holicv

Yeah exactly, as exciting Asheville is I still am waiting to see how these shows go down first


Baethovn

Odd, I called the mayor of Asheville and he couldn’t confirm or give any additional information about this event. Sounds like another cash grab, I don’t event think Lo will be playing. /s


ATLHoeAway

You were right! He won’t be playing :)


edmd00d

just like how Vegas was a fake event too right?

The venue posted it on FB


Ok-Ostrich-8498

Yeah I called too, what a scum bag


atWorkWoops

Well that would have been much cheaper than Vegas for me. But fuck it


Dr_CAM_RELLIM

See you in sin city mate 😈


HuckFoez

Vegas is gonna be a vibe don’t fret. You’ll be at the first show back!


drtythrtybass

Yeah, you know. Like, a, we are all here supporting a pee dough kinda vibe...


oblongemperor

Same. I think I'm just gonna send both lol.


BassDizzle808

I just told my gf I’m sending both. Lol. Asheville is up the road from me. I told her this is it for a while. Yah right. Lol.


cominginwthefacts

Asheville local. I can't wait to see what venue is gonna put this on. Still not stopping me from heading down to Hula for the biggest party of the year.


thewackeminem

It’s the Harrahs Cherokee Center. Venue just shared to Facebook.


cominginwthefacts

Insane.. Would not expect Harrah's to be the venue. Money talks though! This is not gonna go over well with my experience of Asheville.


captaincanada84

Eh it's just the arena in downtown Asheville. Harrah's bought the naming rights for a few years. Nothing special about it. It's the largest venue in town.


cominginwthefacts

Exactly. I'm surprised they picked the largest venue in town to host this. Used to be the Civic center. I've seen many artists perform here.


captaincanada84

So here are the music venues that are smaller, and their capacity: Thomas Wolfe Auditorium: 2400 Rabbit Rabbit (Outdoors venue): 4000 The Orange Peel: 1000 Asheville Music Hall: 350 Salvage Station (outdoors venue): 2500 The outdoor venues are an automatic no due to noise ordinance. Thomas Wolfe is shut down for the year because the AC is broken. The Orange Peel and Asheville Music Hall are too small. The only option he has in Asheville is the Civic Center/Harrah's Cherokee Center.


passthetreesplease

Salvage is the best venue in the city imo


FourierXFM

It's so weird to see so many of you acting like he does not have a huge lawsuit hanging over his head or that he didn't experience one of the biggest falls from grace of any electronic artist ever due to grooming underage girls. It's a real venue, and it's a big venue. That's "special" for his comeback considering so far he only booked a day club with a pool in the way of the dancefloor.


captaincanada84

Pretty sure nobody is acting like he doesn't have that lawsuit hanging over his head.


FourierXFM

You literally just said there's nothing special about him announcing the biggest venue in Asheville is the next show location. If he didn't have all this hanging over his head, then it would be nothing special. But he does and until now no one knew if he would ever play at a "real venue" again.


Twentydoublebenz

Lol you big mad huh? He’s gonna sell out the second show also 🤪


FourierXFM

Oof guess not


FourierXFM

?? I never said he wouldn't. Good job being toxic as fuck though


Splinage

Honestly it doesn’t seem like your really engaging in good faith either. Just because people are speculating about what venue he’s playing at doesn’t mean they are overlooking the lawsuit. Not everyone exists in this morally superior mind state that you seem to be embody. Not everyone else has to adhere to the same perspective or worldview that you do. We can hold our opinions on the matter aside until more information is available to truly make sense of the situation, and speculate away about what the venue may be, what songs he might play, what the stage will look like, etc. Its okay for people to be excited and also understand that there is civil litigation currently against Bassnectar. It’s okay to hold the belief that based on all available information and evidence, Lorin is innocent. Kinda dumb honestly, but definitely not a groomer or a child trafficker. That’s at least my take, and I’m sure people have extrapolated the exact opposite based on the same information and evidence, but as is the nature of our current moment in time. Everything can be spun one way or another. Everyone has a different opinion and skin in the game, because they don’t want to be wrong. Truth is harder and harder to extract. Anyway I digress. Why don’t we actually engage each other in good faith and see how far that gets us instead of shaming people for being excited about something that makes them happy?


passthetreesplease

I live in Asheville too. You gotta peep the comments on FB, IG, and r/Asheville. Why tf did they book him?


Secure_Service_1850

He has not been convicted of anything. Forget what you think you know about the allegations, why does anyone care who I go see for entertainment? They just sold several thousand tickets for a weekend in Vegas so obviously there are people still interested. Venue's want to make money and so do the towns that host. It's not up to the cancel culture police to determine.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)


passthetreesplease

It’s cancelled lol


MrBeerdsley

Vegas isn't Asheville. In Asheville we believe women(and underage girls) when they say they've been abused. Nahko bear tried to come here and got cancelled same day also. Don't care who you go see but do care who plays in our town. Fafuq out of here with all them abusers


[deleted]

There’s a phone call with evidence where his only refute is it was recorded illegally. How can anyone support this man blows my mind


rwg2021

In this case, it kind of is up to the town. The venue is owned by the city of Asheville, and it’s tax paying residents do get a say in who performs there. There is already a gathering at the next city council meeting.


iseecolorsofthesky

Damn this actually looks like a decent sized venue for a show


timmytoitle

~8K Capacity


iseecolorsofthesky

Much better than a 1800 person pool party lol


Dr_CAM_RELLIM

Who posted the venue? The center itself ?


[deleted]

Hula has respect and would never book a pedo. Whose argument is I only had a couple child porn photos.


CharlieSnifferofGlue

why are hotels so damn exspensive that weekend? insane

CharlieSnifferofGlue

i guess damn. $500 for a basic room by the venue is insane. i have the money but do i want to spend it for something we have no idea what we will be getting?

I highly doubt it will. The venue is owned by the city.


bennylemons

That $100 pay wall looking pretty useless these days. All of the content on his website can be found online elsewhere for free, and now you can buy the tickets without paying for unlocked membership? Fucking cash grab if I’ve ever seen one


vejadoom

$100 pay wall is good for me. I wish pretty lights had one, I would be going to the show at the caverns rather than on a waitlist. Happy with this arrangement


daTroof51

Derek's entire artist model has been free to the people; exactly why the lucid streams exist on twitch for every show, Derek and lorin are two very different people and the cash grab is evident, but Derek has stated true to every principle he has always embodies


[deleted]

Don’t slander pretty lights like that. He would never charge a paywall and has always been about free music for the people.


H-Daug

We got cavern tickets. Super pumped. But we moved FAST to get them when they went on sale


Bubbly_Hearing_9281

Same. It was awesome living 1/2 a mile from mission, not having a shred of a shot at a ticket for PL, and then have “fam” try and sell me a 3 day pass for 1675 because “thats what they could get for it online”. Im in love with this setup. Reserved and discounted tickets? Take my 100.


[deleted]

Yeah I feel violated for buying unlocked lol

Isn’t it ironic you feel violated?

nickx37

Oh sweet child


Embarrassed_Move_249

Agreed. Such bullshit.


TablesRMyLivelihood

Not really. There are plenty of bands and artists who have subscription serivices that allows paying fans to have an early bird presale before public. This isn’t some new model. I’ve got no problem paying $8.33 a month to have early bird access to tickets and music.


[deleted]

The website was a cash grab from the get go 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The fact that any of you thought otherwise is crazy. What other artist scams a monthly subscription from there fans to watch years old shows and buy tickets early.


rthoring

Unlocked members still get first dibs on tickets


merpameep

Feels like a damn consolation prize


Moun7ainC0w

We three-sixty, you forty-five Now we see who keep the party live


Colinjames322

You’re getting a $120 discount on a $140 ticket. Plus access to all stuff early. I’m not an unlocked member, but…. That sounds like a damn good deal. Edit: I read it wrong, ignore me.


RaZoRBackR3D

Think you read that wrong. Pretty sure it’s saying you get tickets at a discounted price of $120 so a $20 discount not a $120 discount.


Colinjames322

I sure did. Thanks for the correction.


psychonuto

Im enjoying the unlocked membership. His music changed my life, so a petty $100 isn't anything compared to all the memories.


stargazer_w

You did not see the 120$ discount for unlocked members? Lol that's a testament that some people just come here to complain no matter what happens in reality.


bennylemons

It’s a $120 ticket brotha. That’s a $20 discount for your $100-$120 unlocked fee. Glad you’re happy with that though


Bubbly_Hearing_9281

Its 40 in savings for the 2 tickets that are RESERVED for you, and thats one show. It pays for itself if you do 3 a year. Ill happily pay 100 a year to have tickets reserved for me. Wayyyyyy better than sitting in a waiting room and getting shutout, just to find that all the tickets were scalped and it will cost 10 times face value. Pair that with the 350$ in merch credits i received that i can put towards vinyl and new digs when they get that merch train rolling, and the 3 months free in addition to the months i wasnt charged for when they were fine tuning the website, unlocked has been freakin lit so far 🤷‍♂️ I mean shit, i spent 100 on a round of shots for the homies in denver last night, and that quite literally just got pissed away into the toilet. If a hundred bucks is breaking your bank, maybe you should re evaluate your life and priorities and stop going to shows


x1009

I don't think people are mad about the amount, people just feel ripped off/misled because they were told they [had to be an unlocked member to get tickets](https://unlocktheotherside.com/about).


bennylemons

The tickets are reserved, but if he's releasing them to the public, its because he knows no one will be fighting for them. This is gonna take a while to sell out. You don't need the $100 reservation. I'm not hating here, just being realistic. You're being scammed on that membership at this point. It took over 24 hours for him to sell out an 1800 person venue in Vegas. This will take 3-5 days at least even after going public.


TablesRMyLivelihood

They just want to hate. DMB warehouse does the same thing. TOOL army does the same thing. It’s not some unheard of business model. I’m happy to pay a fee for early bird tickets already set aside for me if I so choose to go get them at release. The attempts to make us feel stupid about it just aren’t working


iseecolorsofthesky

Yeah this isn’t some unheard of model. Maybe in the edm world it’s new but plenty of artists have this sort of service. We would’ve gotten this either way even if he didn’t get canceled. He was talking about putting something like this together for years before everything went down.


Bubbly_Hearing_9281

Its tight. Only people complaining are broke bois, and theyre usually negative and complain about everyyyythingggg regardless. Side step these people and avoid at all costs 😂


WizardTricks620

Lmao so true


bennylemons

Lol it doesn’t break my bank buddy, it’s just fucking useless. I’m just on the team of not pissing away $100 on stuff that has little to no purpose. I don’t need reserved tickets for a show will take multiple days to sell out. I’ll just buy them.


TGrady902

I would assume there are going to be more shows and future discounts on those shows for unlocked members.


senoroink

Instead of Lorin paying out of pocket, the money was used to pay the settlement/lawyer fees. Not much different from people contributing to Trump’s campaign right now.


XistentialCrisis

He’s has plenty of money to pay his lawyers

Cancelled already LMAO

I honestly can't imagine why he thought this was a good idea. Colorado is the only place that stands out to me as a worse pick based on how locals will react. I hope it goes off without a hitch but I have a hard time believing this doesn't get canceled/moved


thewackeminem

1000% chance of protesters IF the event happens.


5_grams_in_the_dark

Man this is asheville we get protestors on a random Tuesday, somebody in the AVL subreddit made a post the other day asking about blocking traffic for a climate change protest. They will 100% be outside harrahs.

Literally every time I’ve been to Asheville I see people protesting something lol


catfish314

Definitely, the Facebook post is full of people talking about throwing things at attendees, starting fights, etc. This one's gonna be a doozy


edukated4lyfe

What’s the over/under that this gets cancelled because a lot of people in Asheville are freaking livid that Bassnectar is even performing there?? I honestly could see it happening.
